Conocemos a Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) por su faceta literaria y por ser uno de los autores anglosajones más prolíficos y heterodoxos de su época. Sin embargo, su faceta como autor de ensayos políticos puede resultarnos algo más desconocida. En esta obra el lector podrá descubrir al Chesterton más político a lo largo de 22 artículos que abarcan la mayor parte de su dilatada vida intelectual.
En un momento fundacional de la democracia de masas, en el que la prensa y el papel de la partitocracia configura nuestros actuales sistemas políticos, Chesterton plantea una nueva perspectiva interpretativa al margen de cualquier simplificación y postura unidimensional, destacando las contradicciones y paradojas a la luz de su experiencia vital y las coyunturas de la política inglesa del primer tercio del siglo XX.
Lo más destacable de esta obra es la actualidad de la que gozan muchas de sus ideas frente a la crisis de la modernidad, que es una constante en el desarrollo de los artículos, así como en las críticas dirigidas a la sociedad de su época y las alternativas que contempla en relación a ella. Desde una filosofía radical y una voluntad de servir a la Justicia y la Verdad, Chesterton nos adentra en los grandes problemas de la contemporaneidad.
